160 Sunderland fans in a dispute with Easyjet and walk off their plane cos some are refused to be allowed to travel from Bristol back to Sunderland after their match against Cardiff.

 

Quinn orders taxis for them all and pays their fare home on the club's tab. Considering they were 300 miles from home that'll be some bill.

There are an awful lot of people in Ireland who think Quinns a bit too sweet to be wholesome.

 

I'm one of them.

 

He strikes me as being desperate to be liked, to be popular, to always say and do the right thing.

 

The cost of transporting those fans back will be covered by the club, won't cost Quinn a penny. But he'll gladly take the credit.

 

Except of course when he was caught drink driving in Dublin, which was kept very quiet.

 

It's not for no reason that a lot of his former teammates in the Irish setup find him a bit of a pain in the a***.

Didn't the papers relating to the charge "go missing", meaning he got off scot-free ?

 

Yeah funny that.

 

I've a good story about Quinn actually

 

Few years back when he was playing for Sunderland I was out for a few pints with my cousin, his father in law and his brother in law who's from Sunderland and a serious fan

 

We were in a quiet pub in Dublin ( scholars in Blackpitts if anyone knows it ) and the Sunderland bloke was ranting and raving about how schite Quinn was and how he was a waste of space, a c*** etc.

 

Every time we tried to change the subject he went back to telling us how little he thought of Quinn.

 

In the middle of his latest rant the door opens and in walks........................Niall Quinn.

 

We twigged the lanky f***er straight away and simaltanously he copped yer mans Sunderland shirt.

 

He comes straight over and shakes his hand while we tell him exactly how much stick yer mans just been giving him. he doesn't deny it and continues his rant face to face with Quinn.

 

Unfazed Quinn proceeds to go to the bar and order us a round while grinning gormlessly and thanking us for our support. No irony or sarcasm in his voice at all.

 

His desperation to be popular was so obvious

Give you the shirt off of his back, he would.

 

Wouldn`t fit mind, I think he`s about 6`4", and I`m only 5`8", but then again, who am I to say no? It would probably be an Armani or summat, very swish and swit-swoo, thank you very much.

 

The taxi company belongs to his brother anyway.

I'm very cynical about Quinn.

 

I wouldn't be alone in that though

 

Have you ever heard him say anything controversial? ever?

 

He tries to be all things to all men. Taking the managers and chairmens role simaltanously at sunderland was a classic example.

 

He's a PR man for the Irish consortium who took over the club, and was brought in as a Sunderland icon, to avoid negative feeling about a group of Irish investors taking over an English club

 

No more than that

I thought Quinn was a good sunderland player. why did your mate think he was rubish.

 

I can only take people as I find them and he seems nice. Don't have to destroy everyone/thing

 

Yeah but when its one of your own you can see things that people from abroad won't cop.

 

The nickname Mother theresa isn't one bestowed on him without sarcasm.

 

He's not the saint he's made out to be, but seems desperate to prove to everyone he is.

 

The way he appointed himself as Kofi Annan during saipan was pure opportunism as well

f***in hell how can anyone turn such a good natured story into an attack on someone who is a closet red??!!!??!!

 

Garrett Kelleher is about to put some of his billions into the development of the Eircom Lge and all I hear is he wants to buy and sell land even though he has gotten one of the best youth development coaches in the game involved!!!! We have to be one of the most pessimistic races in the world!!!

Tremendous investment for the football club, though. And peanuts compared to the obscene amounts of money they pay to the w*nkers on the pitch.

Bloke comes across as nice guy, takes stick from moron in bar with a smile, generally behaves well = something must be wrong with him.

 

Did he pull your bird or something, because it's just about the only explanation I can think of for your stupid and downright odd dislike of Quinn. You've posted about five longish moans without one single thing to actually justify what you're saying.

 

So he didn't pay for the taxis, well what about his testimonial money which all went to charity then? Or was there something suspicious about that? Perhaps if he spat on a few homeless orphans you'd like him more...

Yeah, we don't mind Russian mafia, Serbian war criminals and American 'entrepreneurs' but letting the Irish in is going to far! :rant:

 

Yes, particularly smiling, intelligent Irish of a pleasant disposition.

 

They're the worst type, they must be up to something... :rant::lol:
